Part of my family comes from Skala Podolskaya, Ukraine. The village, Lanovitse, is nearby, so I had great interest in reading this fictional account of life in this village during the late 19th century to the early 20th century. This translation of the original book in yiddish is a wonderful description of what life was like for the jewish families that lived in this village, referred to as Yanovitz in the book. I highly recommend it.
